Shelter is calling on the Government to toughen sentencing for serial rogue landlords. Shelter is asking Grant Shapps, the Housing Minister, to keep the Government’s promises in their Housing Strategy in November 2011: to ‘deal with rogue landlords’ and ‘tackle dangerous and poorly maintained homes’.

Shelter wants the Housing Minister to take five steps to tackle landlords who break the law. Read more on the Shelter website.
